Safari display problems in https sites

I have some problems when trying to reach HTTPS sites with Safari (under Mountain Lion). I only get text display and no rendering of images. I works perfectly well with FireFox. Have the same behavior with Mac App Store which only displays text. and doesn't present the pages correctly. I tried to reset Safari and no success; check KeyChain, no success. Anyone has an idea to get this solved. Thanks

after many attempts, I resolved the problem finaly by reinstalling mountain lion (CMD R after the chime and reinstall option in the menu).

Haveing problems with Safari. It gives me an error message. Safari can't open the web page, because it can't establish a secure connection to the server. It only seams to have a problem on https sites. Any help would be apreciated.

Safari keeps giving and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
Any help would be appreciated

The "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password. Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls. Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)? If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

Safari Will Not Open Https sites

Safari will not open any https sites. When attempted, I get the following type of error:
Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/. . . . . . . . because it could not connect to the server “support.apple.com”.
The problem started happening about three weeks ago, probably after one of Apple's updates. I can log on to the same https sites using any other browser. The problem also exists no matter what user I am logged into, including root.
I have emptied the cache, reset Safari, repaired permissions, repaired the disk using Disk utlility, run ToolTech Pro on the drive, tossed preferences, tossed various keychange files, but nothing solves the problem. There are other posts claiming to have the same problem, but the suggested fix does not work for me.
Any tips would be appreciated.

I also had this problem and solved it. I use Little
Snitch which establishes rules for blocking ports to
see when applications phone home. For Safari I
accidently blocked port 443 which is SSL or https.
Check to see that you have not blocked this port
through a firewall setting. Of course if this were a
firewall setting all browsers would not be able to
access https websites.
****, I thought I thought of everything, but I completely failed to consider Little Snitch, as I could never see myself accidently denying Safari connections. However, apparently I did just that. Thank you, you win the prize.

Safari can't open https site

I am using Safari Version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5)
Mac OS X 10.6.4 on an iMac.
Had no problem going to website https://www.usaa.com prior to today, but today when I try to access the website I get the message that Safari can't find the server. All other websites can be accessed normally. I got on my wife's Mac laptop and using Firefox tried to access https://www.usaa.com. Her computer also cannot locate the server. I called USAA.com and they said their website is operating normally. I removed the pop-up-ad blocker and restarted. Still couldn't access the https:. Repaired Disk Permissions and still no joy on the website. I have no Firewalls. Any suggestions? My next attempt will be to enter TimeMachine and try to reset Safari to a day or two ago and see if that works.

Carolyn,
I Selected SHOW COOKIES and could not fine any for usaa.com
Tried EMPTYING CACHE
Did SYST PREF/NETWORK - Advanced Tab and then Proxies Tab (none of the boxes were selected/configured)
Don't have any Anti-Virus program installed
Checked Parental Controls in SYST PREF and no controld/blocks were set
Depowered/RESET my DSL router and then my AIRPORT
Also, entered TimeMachine and reset Safari to 3 October when I know it was working well
Uninstalled Yahoo BrowserPlus V2.9.2
RESTARTED computer
Checked SOFTWARE UPDATE and found a Secutity Update andJava for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 were not installed. Installed the update and restarted the computer.
After all of the above, still could not access www.usaa.com (Safari could not find the site) Really is a puzzle. Have had a Mac for 25plus years and never had a problem like this.
I am going to try bypassing Airport and plugging the Ethernet cable directly into my computer and see perhaps Airport is the problem. Will let you know the results shortly.
Many thanks for your suggestions

Safari wont load any HTTPS sites

Hey,
For some reason Safari has stopped letting me open any https sites. I am using a new internet connection at my new apartment, but I think everything else has stayed the same. HTTPS sites open fine in Firefox and Explorer. I tried emptying my cache and resetting Safari to no avail. Also just upgraded to 2.0.1. Anything else I can try?
TIA,
Chris

What seems forever since 10.5, after a couple of click throughs Safari stops following links. Eventually I get a 'page not found' message. I went to the macosxhints.com page as described, deleted the Safari preferences file but still have the same results. I have done all of the other usual things, reinstall, etc, but to no avail. Any additional suggestions?

OSX ML Safari 6 cannot open https sites

Using OS X ML with Safari 6 I am no longer able to access certain https sites. While loading the page I am asked for a client certificate which does not exist. I hit cancel but the site never loads and we have just a blank page.
Any ideas?

I have Block Cookie from third parties and advertisrs. I also just cleared all website data and even reset safari several times.
Thank you for the suggestion. Any other ideas are appreciated.
It might be worth noting that this happens with Chrome and Firefox as well but if I click on cancel after it asks for the client certificate the page will load si feel this is something with the SSL stack within the OS
Regards,
Marius

Mac Safari display problem

I created my site using a pc and my website works fine on all browsers except safari on mac. The problem is that at the bottom of my page ( About News Forum) The News and Forum go underneath About when this container should be right next to About tab.
My website www.robootica.com
Heres my code
<div id="left_column"><a href="../about.html" style="color:#999;">About</a></div>
<div id="column_container"><div id="right_column"><a href="../chat.html" style="color:#999;">Forum</a></div>
<div id="center_column"><a href="../news.html" style="color: #999;">News</a></div></div>
my CSS:
#left_column {
float: left;
width:350px;
font-family: "OCR A Std", "Orator Std";
color: #999;
padding-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
cursor: crosshair;
background-color: #000;
padding-bottom: 10px;
display:inline;
#column_container {
float:right;
width: 738px;
padding-top:10px;
cursor: crosshair;
background-color: #000;
padding-bottom:10px;
#right_column {
float:right;
width:350px;
font-family: "OCR A Std", "Orator Std";
color: #999;
text-align: center;
background-color: #000;
#center_column {
margin-left:10px;
width: 350px;
color: #999;
font-family: "OCR A Std", "Orator Std";
text-align: center;
background-color: #000;
float:right;

It doesnt look right on the latest version 5.0.2. My spry widget bar at the top is moved to the left when it suppose to be on the right, and the div container tag of News and Forum is moved under div About when it should be to the right (next to) the About div.

I repeatedly have problems loading https sites, e.g., bank, credit cards, etc. that I have used for ever. Anyone know what on earth is going on? It wont even load the proper images or allow the links to work. I've tried everything you suggest but no luck

I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 Power PC running Firefox 3.6.11, and every time I try to access a secure site that I have accessed many, many times before and even TaxAct last year, the images do not load nor do the links on the page work. The bank and credit card pages constantly come up with the "Security" issue, & even when I try to "accept" the exception it will not allow me to even though everything in the "details" section is fine. I have no idea what on earth is going on, I have literally tried everything you have suggested without any success. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks,
Ann
PS: I DO NOT want to lose my Bookmarks as they are all related to the FDA and took over a year to build! There HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Certificate problem with HTTPS -sites

Hey. Im having a problem on ALL https-starting sites. When i try to in example connect https://addons.mozilla.org/ , i get just this:
http://i.imgur.com/2zPE8.jpg
I have already tried to reboot computer, boot FF without addons, reinstall firefox etc, but the problem still stays. With IE everything seems to work fine, but i would still like to use firefox.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.<br />
If you have ESET then see:
*[[/questions/790114]]
*ESET setup -> advanced setup -> extend web and email tree -> SSL
*SSL protocol: Do not scan SSL protocol
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
* Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
* Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

Another Safari display problem - not the same as others

Hello,
Has anyone seen this happen and know what is going on? This affects both Safari and Explorer but doesn't affect Camino or other browsers.
Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Unfortunately it does not solve the problem. Anyway, this can't be just related to Safari cache as it seems to affect IE too. (Not that I'm using IE). On top of that, if I create a brand new user and go try it, it still looks the same. I doubt a brand new user would have a cache problem since there is no cache for that user yet!!
Is this exactly the kind of thing you saw with your problem? I wish your solution worked. For now, I've switched to using FireFox instead, but I'm nervous that this Safari behavior is just a pre-amble of something else that is wrong with my system.
Thanks ... anyone else?

Secure connection failure in browser for https sites

Recently I kept getting the error message "Secure Connection Failure" when using Firefox to go to https sites. I had a similar problem when I tried using Safari to connect to https sites.
I fixed the problem by opening System Preferences > Parental Controls > selecting the appropriate User (as long as you have administration rights) > selected Allow unrestricted access to websites (by default Try to limit access to adult websites automatically is selected).
Once I checked unrestricted access I was able to go to the https sites I wanted, which were my bank's site and the Firefox homepage for FAQs. Then I went back and checked "Try to limit ...". That brought back the error message again so I checked "Allow unrestricted access ...".
The issue may have arisen because I downloaded a system security update a few days ago. Perhaps it reset the Parental Controls default.
It would be good to block adult sites but the alternative seems to be to customize in Parental Controls the sites that are OK. This would be a tedious job because so many sites are https eg this site.
I no longer have a problem but thought this might help others.

Strangely, I noticed a couple of https sites I had trouble logging into from a link inside a https site.
In System Preferences I went to Accouns and for myself unchecked "Enable parental controls".
I was then able to log onto the the https site.

Sort by kind display problem - only folder icons

Hi, I have the following problem with Finder in Lion (happened in all 10.7.0 to 10.7.3):
When I use the "sort by kind" function in Lion, usually the categorie is displayed in a lighter text with a line underneith. Now it happens from time to time (suddenly) that the display changes and instead of the lighter text, the categories are displayed as "folders". Except they are not folders, the sorting still works and I cannot click on them. The category titles just look like folders and even have a folder icon in front of them.
When I re-select "Sort by kind" the problem is gone for a while.
I took a screenshot of how it is supposed to look: http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3913/findergood.png
And how it looks after Lion changes to the "display problem view": http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2347/finderbad.png
Note that in the second screenshot the very left column still behaves like expected but every layer underneith (that is to the right of it) has the display problem.
I also encountered that when this happens, I am not able to simply drag-and-drop files in Finder anymore. Instead I have to select them first (by blicking on them) and then drag them. Usually this first click to select is not necessary. Again, after re-selecting "sort by kind" this problem is gone.
Also, this happened on all the Macs I own that run Lion, so I'm pretty sure it is not a system specific problem.
Is there a solution to this issue?

Does no one have any idea on this?

Unable to go any https site using FF and safari. Mac OS 10.6.7. Https sites are not displayed at all.

I was able to do all https sites before. Recently I have notied that whenever I go to any https site , the site is not displayed at all.
FF 4.0.1 and safari
e.g. go to www.skype.com and click on login link
can't login to FB
Can't display https://mail.yahoo.com
funny thing is I can't even go to http://www.apple.com
I get blank page and the browser keeps spinning.
Cleared all cache.
Pl. help.
thank you so much for your help.

Those sites display correctly provided they supply HTTPS. Which Yahoo does (HTTPS) and Apple doesn't on their main page (it's HTTP), but the forums here are HTTPS.
Go to your KeyChain Access.
Under Preferences > Certificates set the following
1: Best Attempt
2: Best Attempt
3: OCSP
Reboot the machine.
When you request a secure site it will check the certificates immediately instead of using Apple's outdated lists which require Apple to include them in a Software Update.
If someone is using these outdates certificates maliciously then that's likely the problem.
Also install the HTTPS Everywhere Add-on for Firefox, to ask websites to provide HTTPS. They always can't do it because of third party unencrypted content.
Also when that's finished. Run all the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot (you can cancel reboots in between jobs)
Does a good job of cleaning out gremlins.

Https sites not displaying correctly

Here's an interesting problem thats cropped up on a couple of machines here. Hopefully someone else has found the cause!
The problem is that some HTTPS sites are not displaying correctly. We have seen this with vimeo, and with wetransfer. I have included a screenshot of the issue on both safari and on chrome.
Cross checks i've been able to verify:
another machine with the same OS (10.8.5) looking at the same sites is fine and another running 10.9.4 is not, so this appears not to be OS or browser version related.
this does not happen in a different user account on the same machine, so the issue appears to be in the user home.
this happens across all browsers in this user account. so it appears to be a supporting technology or cache going wrong rather than a specific browser.
I have emptied the user preferences, and cache folders with no change.
Clearly i can sidestep this by creating a new user home, but that isn't actually getting to the bottom of what is going wrong, and it would be better to identify the issue!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https?

Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https and port 37542 (https://localhost:37542/), but displays page properly when regular port is used (https://localhost/).
Both links return the same json response and work properly in other browsers. Certificate for localhost service was installed to the storage.

Problem solved.
I added headers for localhost service response and page displayed normally.
